I ran a new playoff odds simulation accounting for today's results and the Daniel Jones injury.
AFC South with HOU win
Jags 58%, Texans 37%, Colts 5%
with KC win
Jaguats 78%, Texans 13%, Colts 9%
Chiefs playoffs
70% win, 21% loss
Texans playoffs
89% win, 51% loss
Big thing my brain keeps circling back to with Brown and the Knicks is what he puts in on offense to open things up for *everyone* can always get JB and KAT going but tempo/movement to balance things out feels key.

Also, and I can’t say this enough, if you don’t want a tough call at the end to beat you, get 1 stop or make a few more shots down the stretch. The period where Harris was back on the floor buy Duren was still guarding Towns killed the Pistons both from KAT himself and not having rim help on Brunson
BREAKING: Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard will make his return tonight for Game 2 against Indiana Pacers after dealing with a blood clot that sidelined him for over a month, league sources tell me
This piece from ESPN’s Tim MacMahon on how Nico Harrison dissolved the infrastructure around Luka Dončić and the Mavs is going to be *the* sports story of the day (and much longer in Dallas): www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
Remember those piece of shit private security guards who violently dragged a woman out of a GOP town hall in Idaho back in February? They’ve finally been charged.
i know it’s a fraught word but these are degenerate people
Knicks’ Jalen Brunson and Deuce McBride will be game-time decisions.
there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all
every person involved in this needs to be in prison
Thibs is waving the white flag. Emptying the bench.
New York will lose on back-to-back night by 30-plus points combined to San Antonio and Charlotte.
Bench scored 7 points total in non-garbage time, all in fourth.
Knicks' brutal schedule ends here, though.
ESPN has basically traded an entire investigative journalism dept for Stephen A. Smith. ESPN’s IJs used to uncover stories that all sports radio & podcasters would yap about. Invaluable to the brand. The sportsworld spun on it. Now ESPN is just the worst YouTube sports show ever with better graphics
Before every game, Deuce McBride and OG Anunoby have a handshake that consists of them doing the robot.
Whose idea was that?
“Who do you think? It was OG.”
My profile on the Knicks’ man of mystery, who has personality and is just like me and you:

The one thing I will tell you about the Lakers and their coach: they know what they will live with, they know what they are willing to give up and that matters in Spring.
The level of shot making in Lakers-Celtics is outrageous and the passing ain't bad either.
League sources confirm the Knicks are signing PJ Tucker to a 10-day contract.
ESPN was first.
Knicks guard Jalen Brunson is out for at least two weeks with a sprained ankle

i want dave portnoy on the next rinky dink spacex flight off this planet
There’s something truly awful happening with culture where it’s so important to burnish your asshole bonafides every now and again. They need KAT to be weak so they can be strong. It’s so unbecoming of all these dudes.
The Knicks are a very good team. Some things to fix if they want to beat the teams ahead of them, but still very good.
Since Jan. 1, the New York Knicks have a 3-point line problem (both offense and defense) that can help explain some of the up-and-down play since then.
Dove into the numbers and some film on both sides of the 3-point line:

If people really want to watch '90s-style NBA basketball, why aren't the Orlando Magic on national TV every night?
The Clippers have a back-to-back this week against two teams that they are 0-4 against this season
And then after that, they get to host these two demons.
one of the grimmest-presenting people, like truly an avatar for the ills of the world, is sitting courtside right now at Knicks-Heat
Spoke to @chriswarcraft.bsky.social about his recent arrest, why he didd what he did, plus the state of the Vikings, and some untold stories from eras past. Come listen!

there are obvious potential pitfalls in playing Towns and Mitchell Robinson together but I am definitely interested in seeing one of Earth's greatest lob threats alongside one (1) teammate who can throw an entry pass. like, Mitch might be the only Knick who misses Elfrid Payton. he deserves KAT
This is absolutely the game of the year so far in the NBA
I still think the Lakers will come out as the winner of the Luka trade. But ppl went way too far in talking about what the Mavs got.
